MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits characteristics of malicious intent, including obfuscated content and an embedded binary file. The ClamAV heuristic 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' strongly indicates malicious obfuscation. The presence of an embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', suggests a delivery mechanism for a secondary payload. The XFA form and embedded file heuristics further support the likelihood of a malicious document.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
